No. All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to become a board certified orthodontist. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievementa significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems. Board certification is a voluntary achievement that all orthodontists do not choose to pursue. In order to become board certified by the ABO, an individual orthodontist is thoroughly interviewed by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate their orthodontic knowledge, clinical skills and judgment.
One. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only certifying board in the specialty that is recognized by the American Dental Association. The ABO was founded in 1929 and is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. The boards purpose is to elevate the quality of orthodontic care for the public by promoting excellence through certification, education and professional collaboration.
Successful completion of the examination process demonstrates the orthodontists highest commitment to excellence in orthodontics to both the orthodontic profession and the general public. It represents a commitment by a licensed specialist that he/she has the necessary knowledge base and skills to treat patients to the highest of standards. It exemplifies a practitioners commitment to continue to keep abreast of the latest advances in patient care, and to continue to deliver these latest advances to patients. Many orthodontists see it as a demonstration of their dedication to the specialty and the highest level of personal achievement.
Since the establishment of the ABO in 1929, the certification process requirements have continued to adjust to the demands of the specialty. Today, the process involves a thoroughWritten Examination (240 questions)covering all areas of information which an orthodontist should be knowledgeable. Successful completion of this board exam allows the orthodontist to proceed to theClinical Examinationwhere they present detailed case reports from their practice/residency, demonstrating a history of excellence in patient care. These cases are evaluated by a panel of examiners and later discussed during an oral examination where the applicant is tested on a wide variety of academic and clinical topics. After successful completion of these examinations, the orthodontist has officially achieved Board Certification, for a time-limited period. The orthodontist must go throughCertification Renewal every 10 yearsto maintain their certification status by demonstrating this continued level of patient care.

Orthodontics has always held a special place in my heart. While going through treatment when I was younger, the process fascinated me. Watching as my smile changed and knowing the confidence it gave me made me want to be a part of helping others feel the same way. Ive been fortunate enough to be one of the lucky few who love going to work everyday and still get excited seeing what a difference a smile can make in someones life!

Dr. Kyle and his Team are the literal best! They're so sweet, caring and amazing at what they do. I saw two different orthodontist both wanting me to get jaw surgery to obtain my perfect smile. But Dr. Kyle came up with a better treatment plan for me where we could avoid surgery, I would still get my perfect smile. It's only been a few months since we've started my treatment and there's already so much progress! I still have some way to go but I can't wait to see my perfect smile when we're all done. Thank you Dr.Kyle, team y'all are awesome. I appreciate you all! <3

Dr. Aten and his staff are truly amazing! My daughter had her first appointment to obtain records and have a consultation to see what treatment would be best for her. They knew she was excited & eager to start so within a week they were able to schedule her for placing the upper & lower brackets! Not only were they very efficient, she was scheduled on a day that we had horrible weather forcing schools & other businesses to close. I was expecting a call that we would probably reschedule the appointment a week out which would have been completely understandable. That was not the case. Dr. Aten & his assistant Jen came in just tor her appointment!! They both went above and beyond my expectations!! I think this speaks volumes for how much they care about their patients! I also want to add how bright & beautiful the office is! It's such a warm & happy environment & the music playing made for such a relaxing appointment for all involved! Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference! We look forward to working with Dr. Aten and his great staff during the course of the treatment! I would HIGHLY recommend this office and will continue to spread the word on how great of an orthodontic office this is!

My experience at Aten Orthdontics has been amazing. The team is really professional and always so friendly. Adult braces weren't an easy choice to make for myself and they were so helpful and made the process seemless. They used updated dental technology and their facility is so crisp and clean. I'm super happy with the results that I've seen in the past 5 months alone.

I took my son to Aten Orthodontics to get a second opinion on braces for my son. I was very impressed with the office and the staff. My son had several pictures taken of his teeth. Dr. Aten went through the pictures and explained what was currently going on with the teeth and what he could do to correct them. He was very thorough and took his time answering my questions. The assistant Jen was very friendly and thorough when I sat down with her and went over cost and payment options if I were to move forward with getting braces for my son. A couple weeks later and my son had top braces put on by Dr.Aten and he goes back for the bottom ones in a couple of weeks. A couple of days after my son had his braces put on Dr. Aten called us to see how my son's mouth was feeling and if we had any questions or concerns, which I thought was so kind of him to take time out of his day to call us! Overall I would recommend Aten Orthodontics to friends and family. Friendly and caring staff and nice clean office. I will definitely be going back to Aten Orthodontics if my second son needs braces.

Highly recommend! The friendly, knowledgeable, professional staff helped me feel more comfortable and optimistic about choosing Invisalign. For that I am truly grateful. After a few short weeks I could already tell the difference in my bite. I am glad Aten Orthodontics could help me. Also, I am a big fan of their spacious office.

We have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Aten and Jen. I now have two children with braces from Aten Orthodontics. Affordable, friendly staff , and very knowledgeable. One of my sons was a little nervous about getting them on and instead of letting him stress about it Dr. Aten stayed after hours that same day to put them on for him so he didn't worry about it for 2 weeks. Can't recommend them enough!!!

I would recommend this place to anyone. The office and work area is so clean. They also let me go back during procedure which is awesome so I can see what's going on.
